Well, you've read the notes, the notes were treading water, and now it is time for you to post until the treading cows come home.

Thanks to BK, today I learned that Julius Wechter served as vice president of the Southern California chapter of the Tourette Syndrome Association.

I saw some sealed Ben Bagley LPs today at a thrift, including a Vernon Duke that I think was shared with another composer.
And another Bagley LP had a promo sticker boasting that it was a reissue that added four songs sung by a soap opera actor.

I remember in the network airing of Black Sunday, in the crowd at the Big Game, some people had a homemade sign that said, “Pittsburgh Steelers, kick Dall-ass!” And how we youngsters laughed at that.
Otherwise I found the movie terrifying.

Faking Tourette’s on social media for fun and profit? That would be so 2023, if true.

Search the girl and watch ten of her videos and you tell me. Baylen Dupree.

Here's an article giving her the benefit of the doubt but unsure if she's faking or not. And then blaming the social media companies. C'mon. This is now a "thing" on TikTok. This particular girl is, for me, the one who looks most fake although they all do in one way specifically, which this article explains. The one thing I know is you don't pick up a brand new tic by watching a TikTok video - that's just absurd. She has 8.5 MILLION followers - let's figure out how much money that translates to. https://dealingwithdisorder.com/tourettes/does-baylen-dupree-have-tourettes/#:~:text=Baylen%20Dupree%2C%20a%2019%20year,hard%20to%20prove%20they%20are.

Having just read up on how TikTok pays out, this girl could be literally making millions a year. In one of her videos, she's hawking a product - she can make 100,000 and up for that single video. There is something so wrong with this world and this is the perfect example, which is why young girls show their underwear or push the envelope as far as they can. And most of the high earners are - teenagers.

bk · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2023, 02:45:31 AM »

And just to put a point on it, she has multiple channels with different names - heaven knows how much this person is making.

DR vixmom, glad that the birthday celebration for your mother was a success. She looks quite pleased.

I don't understand why they banned me from the gift shop.

After my 3:30 bathroom break I slept very poorly. Thatch was a great sleeping companion, but I could not get comfortable. Then around 4:30, Annabelle crawled under the blankets. She couldn't settle either so she wandered around my feet. Luckily, Stella stayed out of the way. It's been so warm, she and Thatch shed constantly, and she's happier sleeping in the bathroom sink, the bathtub, or on the floor.

I looked over the photos of the Sondheim house. I didn't recognize it at all, mostly, I suppose, because I hadn't been there since the fire and reconstruction. My last memory of being there was the 100th performance/Pulitzer Prize party for Sunday in the Park with George. What a great night!

I had a lovely visit yesterday with my goddaughter Charlotte. I hadn't seen her for at least four or five years, so we had much catching up.

Access-a-Ride will pick me up late in the morning and take me to the Lincoln Center Apple store, where I will meet Joshie, and we will look for a new computer. I've put off buying one for two long.

Thanks, George, for capturing my loftiness.

Many people don't know that in Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber's first draft of The Phantom of the Opera, it was Little Lofti.

And then, of course, there was Lofti Lehmann.

After we complete the purchase of the Sondheim townhouse, my next project is a GoFundMe to get my new Hollywood franchise off the ground. It's going to be tater-tot-licious!

And one to grow on.
